Trump admin went after Maduro for the same reason they tried so hard to keep "gang member" kilmar garcia in CECOT. They are targeting people you won't sympathize with in order to numb you to how unlawful and cruel their conduct is. Don't fall for it.

Letting a demented pedophile start an illegal war would be considered bad by any other country but ours is being governed by conservatives without spines or morals.

Bari Weiss watching Jay Leno's old Jaywalking segments: wait a tick this is a brilliant format
I'm well aware that this cbs line is just cynical but also it would be so funny if they actually made a nightly news cast that is just like: ZERO EXPERTS, ALL ANALYSIS IS FROM SOME DUDE WE PULLED OFF THE STREET AND HES CONFUSED ABOUT WHY WE ARE FILMING HIM IN THE BUFFALO WILD WINGS PARKING LOT
I truly cannot wait for these incredibly stupid people to find out what happens when you try to wave the flag harder than Fox News

it's kinda funny watching Weiss et al. pussyfoot around with this "average american" euphemism while the groypers who run the gov't social media accounts openly thirst for a white christian ethnostate.
ah yes, the best way to explain and understand the world is by ignoring experts and practitioners and turning our attention to the “average American,” whatever that means
This isn't about democratizing the news. It's about elevating "vibes" and "feelings" to be on par with lived experience and subject-matter expertise.

My mom initiated her divorce after 27 years of marriage to put an end to persistent infidelity. My dad married his last mistress within a year; my mom never remarried. But go on about who has the "backups".
Studies consistently show men tend to remarry within 3 years of divorce with women around 5 years and trending longer as they choose to focus on their careers and child rearing.

Watch S2 ep3 of Fallout to see a politician who can't give a speech to save their life so you can really appreciate just how skilled Mamdani is.
Mamdani: I have been told that this is the occasion to reset expectations, that I should use this opportunity to encourage the people of New York to ask for little and expect even less. I will do no such thing. The only expectation I seek to reset is that of small expectations.

seems bad that meghan markle's accessory choices receive 10x the amount of media scrutiny as elon musk creating Pedobot 9000 for the entertainment of his nazi internet friends
call me crazy but it really feels like “World’s Richest Man Creates AI Chatbot That Generates Child Porn” would’ve been a huge international outrage requiring a governmental crackdown not even 24 months ago

Still so crazy to me that the guy most eager to turn America into a pogrom-loving fascist dictatorship is... the descendant of Jewish immigrants who escaped pogroms. History has a twisted sense of humor, but with any luck, Miller will be the butt of the joke.
Miller falling short on his "authoritarian designs"?
"The deportations are lagging far behind his hopes. He has not persuaded Trump to deploy the dictatorial power he pines to see. And he has unleashed a cultural moment in defense of immigrants that is more powerful than anything he anticipated."

the idea of reciprocation is so baked into us as social animals that people - even shitty people - struggle to grasp how someone can lack the impulse. trump's advantage is that relatively few understand malignant narcissism and attribute humanity to him that he simply does not have.
The most interesting thing about Trump, contra Kat Rosenfeld, is that he shows no loyalty to anyone and keeps selling out everyone he steps on to get where he wants and whenever one of his stepping stones like MTG get the temerity to think they have a reciprocal relationship they're all surprised!

it's probably not a coincidence that republicans are trying to spin up a Satanic Panic 2.0 about immigrants and daycares at the exact moment we're seeing a steady news drip about how their supreme leader was best buds with the world's most notorious child sex trafficker.
BREAKING
The Trump administration says it has frozen all childcare payments to Minnesota in the aftermath of allegations of fraud by some in the Somali community.
Important: allegations along these lines have existed for years, which has resulted in prosecutions starting with the Biden DOJ.

It is 1985. A bunch of conservative Christians with concerning media habits are alleging malfeasance at local daycares.

Actual news followed up and it turns out these are actual day care centers with kids enrolled in them.
White dude with camera arrives at daycare and demands to see kids.
Daycare workers keep doors and windows closed.
White dude alleges fraud.
Every Republican backs white dude.
That's the current story in Minnesota.

it's part and parcel with most excuses for Trump's behavior: yes that [tweet/gesture/bombing/etc.] is horrible but it's also too childish to take seriously so just ignore it and focus on the adult version of him that exists in people's imaginations.
Trump keeps illegally bombing other countries and the defense of this seems to be that he does little of it enough that absolutely nothing strategic ever gets achieved

We need to have a serious talk about the way "AI companion" apps not only prey on the vulnerable, but are priming their users to ignore consent and to conflate love with control.
We need AI regulations across so many sectors, but this area is particularly horrifying.
